ANGEL ALVARADO v. COMMISSIONER
OF CORRECTION
(AC 38005)
Lavine, Sheldon and Mullins, Js.
Argued September 23—officially released December 13, 2016
(Appeal from Superior Court, judicial district of
Tolland, Oliver, J.)
Angel Alvarado, self-represented, the appellant (peti-
tioner).
Zenobia G. Graham-Days, assistant attorney general,
with whom, on the brief, was George Jepsen, attorney
general, for the appellee (respondent).
Opinion
PER CURIAM. The petitioner, Angel Alvarado,
appeals following the denial of his petition for certifica-
tion to appeal from the judgment of dismissal of his
petition for a writ of habeas corpus, in which he chal-
lenged his disciplinary designation as a member of a
security risk group by the respondent, the Commis-
sioner of Correction. The habeas court dismissed his
petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Practice
Book § 23-29 (2) on the ground that it failed to state a
cause of action upon which relief could be granted.
Because a ‘‘petitioner’s classification as a security risk
group member does not implicate a liberty interest’’ that
is ‘‘sufficient to invoke the subject matter jurisdiction of
the habeas court’’; (internal quotation marks omitted)
Rodriguez v. Commissioner of Correction, 159 Conn.
App. 162, 166, 122 A.3d 709 (2015); we conclude that
the habeas court properly dismissed the petition for a
writ of habeas corpus. On this point, jurists of reason
cannot differ. Accordingly, we further conclude that
the habeas court did not err in denying the petitioner’s
petition for certification to appeal. See id.
The appeal is dismissed.
